Brachylophus is a genus of iguanid lizards, family Iguanidae, comprising four living species native to the Fiji archipelago, alongside one extinct giant species known from Tonga. One living species, the Fiji banded iguana, has also become established on Tonga through human introduction. The genus is restricted to Pacific island ecosystems, unlike most other iguanid genera, which are concentrated in the Americas.
